What I like about this is that it presents materials and then prompts in English for the learner to translate to the target language. The quality of sounds is good enough to listen to on a treadmill while jogging. (I wish though that there were a slightly longer pause between the prompt and the response.)
Logically organized (for tourists) with a consistent lesson-to-lesson format which includes essential grammar, listening to, then practice in pronunciation. Very useful vocabulary included. Helpful cultural/custom tidbits add to its practical value and help to keep it interesting. Doesn't "bog down". If you are a visual learner, you'll need some other companion workbook or text because, except for a small, relatively useless pamphlet, it's true to its title "All-Audio Italian". Get a dictionary, too. Molto buono.
I used this tape collection in my car after having completed several beginner level tape sets. The commentary prepared me for my first trip to Italy. The instruction is clear; the drills good. Although at first I found it impossible to respond to the exercises, I could do so with some skill on my third time. I use the set along with some books and other other intermediate Italian tapes. Admittedly, the commentary I once found so interesting is now a little tiresome. This set could be improved by having the native speaker in the exercises speak more distinctly.
I have been listening to these CDs every morning and night on my commute, and it's been amazing how quickly I'm grasping Italian. It takes a certain amount of concentration, and you have to review the little handbook to figure out some of the words and phrases that the Italian speakers are saying on the CD, but before you know it, you start to figure it out. I'm amazed now how well I understand some of the earlier lessons when I go back and listen to them. With some commitment, this program can really teach you to speak.
I found this program very useful. I've been studying Italian on my own on and off, so I'm not a complete newbee. However, last time I picked up a course book/took a class was 3 years ago. I don't have time to read books, so I needed something I could do in the car, and this program is perfect for that!!! They start with really basic vocab and grammar and provide words and phrases for various situations. The speakers are easy to understand. They give you plenty of time to repeat phrases/words after them. Explanations are very understandable. They don't "bombard" you with a lot of new words at a time. The vocab in the dialogues and excercises is always explained first (i.e., they don't suddenly use new words). They even give cultural tips and info. The best thing - you don't have to read anything!!!
